DNA testing has confirmed the identity of the second victim in July’s double homicide as 25-year-old Aaron Jarmon, according to an email from city spokeswoman Sara Bustilloz.

Jarmon and his girlfriend, 19-year-old Haley Millan, were found dead in a burning structure next to a mobile home in the 6300 block of Kawaha in north Midland, according to an August press release. Midland Fire and Police departments responded to a disturbance at the residence around 2:30 a.m. July 17. Authorities found the small structure and adjacent mobile home on fire, and the two bodies inside the structure. Both had gunshot wounds to the head, and Millan was identified using dental records, according to previous Reporter-Telegram articles.

Three suspects were arrested on Aug. 12: Ryan Green, 23; Sean Jobe, 21; and Trace Roland, 23. All three were charged with first-degree murder and their bonds have been set at $1 million.

Witnesses at the residence said that two armed men dressed in black asked where Jarmon was. When told that Jarmon was in the shed, the men headed to the back and then witnesses heard gunshots and the structure was set on fire, according to the affidavit.

Video surveillance from allegedly showed a vehicle matching Green’s personal vehicle leaving the area of the murders around approximately 2:32 a.m. Investigation revealed that a cellphone used by Green was in the vicinity of a tower located near State Highway 349 and Tejas at 2:36 a.m., according to the affidavit.

Green allegedly said that the men had come up with a plan to “scare” Jarmon and that Roland had told him Jarmon “needed to be dealt with.” The plan according to Green was to fire rounds from the handgun into the residence and flee, according to the affidavit.
